#Omen is today's prompt, and I always feel like animals are omens, especially wild ones. But this fellow seems to be a bit more overt than most. #mabsdralloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

#yokai is the prompt for today, and so it's time again to go to yokai.com to get a random Japanese spirit to draw. A yamabiko is a mountain spirit who makes echos return strangely, and looks like a cross between a monkey and a dog. yokai.com/yamabiko/ #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

#pumpkin is the prompt, and that is exactly what I drew. #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

#darkwater was today's prompt, and I was going for a threatening face rising up to the surface, but I don't know how well I achieved that. I don't dislike it, but it's not quite right either. #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

#undead is the prompt for today, and I couldn't think of anything clever, so I just doodled. I feel like I could do more, but I kinda like it simple. #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

#lightninglad is the prompt, but all I could think of was the little lad who likes berries and cream, so I smashed him together with Raiden. #imold #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

Alternate trilogy where Dooku and Yoda both end up on Dagobah squabbling about ideology and philosophy like a pair of bitchy old people at the senior home and Luke shows up like wtf. Yoda says "Teach you in the ways of the Force, I will. Ignore my former Padawan roommate, you should. Suck, he does."

#ghoul is the prompt for today, and I am not great at drawing realistic gore. I also didn't really want to get political and draw real-life ghouls. #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

“Secretary Kennedy is entitled to his views. But he is not entitled to put people’s health at risk.”

Six former surgeons general condemn RFK Jr.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: RFK Jr. is a threat to the health of Americans

It was our duty in office to warn of dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

The prompt today is #werewolf and I was struggling to make this interesting. I figured I would make it kind of textural and patterned, so I drew a simple picture, filled it in with gouache, and then drew squiggles over it. #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025 #drawlloween

Today's prompt is #forestsprite and it's pretty straightforward. I do enjoy drawing tree trunks, and I'm really happy with how the wings turned out. I even put some sparkly ink on them. #drawlloween #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025

The prompt today is #haunting and I was trying to draw a ghost being ethereal. I did a wash and then colored it with watercolor colored pencils. I also ripped the drawing when it was wet, because I did not learn from yesterday that this paper doesn't like water. #madsdrawlloween2025 #drawlloween

So last month when the prompt list came out for #drawlloween I sat down and drew some thumbnail sketches and took some notes for the prompts. All I wrote for today's prompt of #witch! was "spiderman meme but witches" so here is that, because it made me giggle. #mabsdrawlloween2025

Today's prompt is #yourfamiliar for #drawlloween so I drew a friendly bat friend to hang out on my shoulder. #mabsdrawlloweenclub

Drawlloween is here again. The prompt for today is #spookyintro and my first thought was The Twilight Zone. Life feels like a lot of static right now, so it was scribble time. #dralloween #mabsdrawlloweenclub2025

More from ADP: The number of jobs created in August 2025 was revised downward from 54,000 to a loss of -3,000.
What's more, employment fell for the third time in four months, ADP said

ADP Nonfarm Payrolls for September: -32,000. A big miss -- the forecast was for a gain of 50.5k -- and it is the largest decline since March 2023
ADP numbers are leading non-farm payrolls lower.

Sad to hear about the passing of the Michelangelo of Movie posters, RENATO CASARO. The Man painted so many iconic posters, specially in the 70s/80s: CONAN, TERMINATOR, DUNE, TOTAL RECALL, DANCE WITH THE WOLVES, BLOW OUT, FLASH GORDON, RAMBO, NEVER-ENDING STORY, and the list goes on and on. 1/2
